Why was the red headed girl talking to her?

"Hi."
What else was she supposed to say? Was she new? ... Well. Yes. In a sense. Help? Why would she need help? She knew how to get to the train. She would walk. Then the train would do the rest!
Delilah shuffled her left foot against the stone floor before glancing back up to her mum. "Yeah... I'm... new. Are you?"
Clare watched the girl as she made her way over, and smiled in greeting. Eyeing her daughter as she mumbled her response, the older woman decided to answer for her. "Help would be nice...ly useful. Help her find her feet once I've left."
Judging from Delilah's glare, her exit would be soon. Lovely.
Urgh, why was the whole introducing-yourself thing so weirdly difficult?
"No, actually, this is my third term. I just... well... didn't want you to be all... you know... lonely." 'Cause she'd seen people freak out when they were alone their first time at Hogwarts...
"But if you don't want me I can go." she added as she spotted Kennedy. Though she didn't want to walk over there and interrupt something awkward-looking.
And then the girl's mother spoke...
nicely useful..? She preferred
selfless and friendly but it would have to do.
"I'll try..." she said. Though she was beginning to regret even talking to this girl... she was being oddly defensive about something... Still...
"I'm Aurora, by the way." she introduced herself to them.
